Unfortunately, a lot of players are unable to obtain these rewards. They are instead encountering what is being described as the Valorant Battle Pass, not working error.

Banks are secretly gathering up to 2,000 data points on how you use your phone and computer to help detect fraud. The data used can be anything from the angle at which you typically hold your phone to whether or not you use a numeric keypad when typing numbers on your computer … The NY Times gives one example of how an attempted million-dollar fraud was detected. The paper’s Stacy Cowley gives other examples of data captured by these systems....

Millions of moviegoers have witnessed the origins of The Joker thanks to Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix, but even before the film was made, it was being compared to Alan Moore’s and Brian Bolland’s famous one-shot graphic novel, Batman: The Killing Joke. The graphic novel’s original purpose was to exist independently from the ongoing canon of the Batman universe… but that didn’t stop many of its element from becoming DC canon soon after its publication....

Of the many questions left open by the end of director Zack Snyder’s long-awaited Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is the exact nature and circumstances of the death of Bruce Wayne’s boy ward and trusted sidekick Robin - something only briefly alluded to in Snyder’s movie. It’s all the more intriguing a question since rumors past have claimed that the in-development DC Extended Universe Batman solo movie, which Batman V Superman’s Ben Affleck has reportedly written and may also be lined up to direct, will feature the second Robin, Jason Todd, as Red Hood - drawing inspiration from the ‘Under the Red Hood’ storyline previously brought to life in comic book and animated movie form....

DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. have already turned The Flash into a success on the small screen with their CW series, and next the character is set to cameo in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Though it isn’t as simple as that; The Flash appearing in Batman V Superman will be played by Ezra Miller, not Grant Gustin, yet will still be the Barry Allen version of The Flash. For some viewers this might seem complicated, but thankfully DC lore is well suited for such idiosyncrasies, and any fan wishing to do so could use the multiverse theory to explain the existence of two versions of the same Flash....

WARNING: The following contains SPOILERS for Batwoman, season 1, episode 12, “Take Your Choice.” The latest episode of Batwoman has shown that the Crows, the private security firm run by Jacob Kane, are somehow more incompetent than the Gotham City Police Department. This is something of an accomplishment, given the GCPD reputation for corruption and general stupidity. Crows Security was founded after Batman disappeared from Gotham City in 2015. Made up of Navy SEALS and Green Berets who had left active military service to enter the private sector, the Crows were theoretically meant to offer Gotham City a team of professionals who would be able to protect the city in ways the GCPD could not in Batman’s absence....

In what’s truly a work of mad genius, a fan recreated the most recent Avengers: Endgame trailer using clips from Spongebob Squarepants. Ever since Avengers: Infinity War arrived last spring to rock the world of Marvel fans everywhere, said fans have been waiting impatiently for their chance to find out what happens next. Unfortunately, Marvel Studios has seen fit to go into almost complete lockdown on the topic, revealing almost nothing of consequence about the Phase 3 capper’s overall plot arc....

Inaccurate and missing metadata isn’t just a pain for music lovers – it can also cost artists, songwriters, and others billions in unpaid royalties from streaming music services, suggests a new report. One example given was a musician who missed out on $40,000 in royalties because a clash between two different metadata databases removed many of his credits … The Verge reports that even after the metadata was finally fixed, the musician still didn’t get his money....

We last saw Bruce Wayne at a Florentine café. Times have changed. When we next meet him in March, he will be far away from cappuccinos and the David. Former director Christopher Nolan is still in the picture, now as an executive producer presiding over Zack Snyder’s DC reign of terror. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will twist the Batman fable, bend the mythology, and front Ben Affleck as the latest Caped Crusader....

DC’s Batwoman season 1, episode 3 sees the mystery of Alice deepen - and raises disturbing questions about just how secret Batman’s identity really is in the Arrowverse. Batwoman appears to be going from strength to strength, with episode 3 opening with a genuinely disturbing flashback/nightmare to Alice’s missing 15 years. It doesn’t take long for the story to spin to the present day, with Kate Kane attempting to persuade her sister to go just 24 hours without killing....

With Avengers: Infinity War now on Netflix, a fan takes inspiration from Black Mirror’s “Bandersnatch” in order to make fun of Star-Lord’s poor choices. A few days back, Netflix attempted to reinvent the streaming experience with “Bandersnatch,” a standalone Black Mirror movie that offers viewers the ability to interact with what they’re watching in a manner similar to a “choose your own adventure” book. Bandersnatch has been by no means universally praised, but most do agree that the experiment is an interesting one....

Avengers: Infinity War’s Mark Ruffalo is the subject of a hilarious, psychedelic, and brand new meme music video. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor is known for portraying Bruce Banner aka The Hulk in films like The Avengers and Avengers: Infinity War, but he’s also known for his big personality and ability to deliver meme-worthy lines during interviews. Last year, Ruffalo spoke with BBC Radio 1 about portraying the Hulk on the big screen, along with the public response to his awkward franchise initiation at The Avengers Comic-Con panel in 2010....

With Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice fading from view, all eyes are on the impending release of Captain America: Civil War, set to hit theaters in the U.S. on May 6. There’s another player in the comic book movie mix who hopes not to be forgotten, though, and that is 20th Century Fox with its upcoming release of X-Men: Apocalypse. X-Men: Apocalypse is the third in a trilogy of movies started with X-Men: First Class back in 2011....
